We know hospitality from the inside — split VAT, tips and the daily close are routine for us, not a puzzle.
What matters most in Restaurants & hospitality
Two VAT rates under one roof
Takeaway is taxed at 2.6%, dine-in at 8.1%. Your till and bookkeeping have to split every sale correctly, or you over- or under-pay VAT every quarter.
Tips and the daily cash close
Tips, cash takings and the cash book have to reconcile every single day. Sloppy cash handling is the first thing a VAT inspection looks at.
Staff turnover and hourly wages
High turnover, hourly staff and the L-GAV (collective agreement) mean payroll, minimum wages and social deductions need watching month after month.
Thin margins and permits
With tight margins you need clean monthly figures to see where money leaks, plus the hospitality permit (Gastgewerbe) has to be in order before you open.

How is VAT split between takeaway and dine-in?
